| Description
| Traditionally, pronunciation teaching has been based on "armchair data" (e.g., the instructor's intuition on how a sound should be articulated) or prescriptive statements in pronunciation textbooks. In this course, students will learn fundamental principles of phonetics through experimental acoustic and articulatory data and learn how to apply them to pronunciation teaching. Students will be challenged to translate what they have learned to digestible pronunciation instructions for students of different ages and proficiency levels.
